Poonam Dhuffer chats to entrepreneur and speaker Saima Thompson about her cancer diagnosis and how she missed eating home-cooked Punjabi food while being at university. We chat honestly about British South Asian representation in mainstream UK media, growing up in a predominantly white area and how to navigate conversations around "bad news" in our communities.  Poonam explores family values and the importance of food in a Sikh Punjabi household.  Follow Saima Thompson @curryandcancer  / Masala Wala Cafe @masalawalacafe / BAME Cancer Support Facebook Group Connect with Poonam @_ysm8 / ysm8events@gmail.com Artwork - Poonam Dhuffer  Editing - Poonam Dhuffer Music composed and arranged - Amrit Dhuffer
